Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together.
Both he and Shen Yi have a unique understanding of working as detectives, almost to the point of being experts.
Of course, the one most hurt here is Li Zijun, who did nothing and got subtly insulted twice.
Shen Yi didn't have much opinion about him working at the police station, but she was quite concerned about Li Zijun. These days, it's hard to guard against a thief in your ho.
The childhood sweetheart setup is an enigma. It's fine if no feelings develop, but once they do, no one else can get involved.
That night, Shen Yi once again put on her black stockings and walked back and forth in front of him, making him—no, making the dog drool all over the place.
The most outrageous thing was Shen Yi stepping on the dog while wearing black stockings, which was a bit too much.
Late at night, wearing a nightgown with black stockings, and then playing with the dog? If you have the guts, play with... never mind, too lazy to get angry.
Anyway, this woman is both flirty and commanding, but you can only look. Want to touch? Dream on!
Fortunately, he has a day off tomorrow, so Shen Yi can't disturb his will no matter what she does.
In the end, Boss Shen couldn't resist and went to sleep. After all, as the boss, even though she doesn't have to work, she can't rest on schedule. She has an important client to et tomorrow.
The next day, Su Qing slept in until late morning, missing several calls on his phone.
He finally got up around noon and returned a call to his mom, who asked him to co ho.
He naturally knew about this, as she'd told him a few days in advance.
At twelve-thirty, he walked the dog ho.
"Oh my, my eldest son is back! Have you eaten? Are you hungry?" Zhou Hui bead as she saw her son return.
[The rebellious mother sees you as the family's last hope, and your status is almost equal to hers.]
Hearing the narration in his head, Su Qing couldn't help but marvel at life's wonders. Just two months ago, he returned ho to all kinds of criticism, and now? It's like royal treatnt; the Hall of Nine Thousand Years seems overrated in comparison.
It's an expression he hadn't seen in over 20 years of life. It's the power of a stable job.
Although he's in a temporary role, being in Gotham City's number one branch is impressive. Whether it's temporary or not, his mom can still boast that her son works at the police station as an advisor, which sounds high and mighty.
After all, the title of an advisor sounds more prestigious than a regular police officer.
"Hmm, I haven't eaten yet. Where's Dad and Su He?" Su Qing casually plopped down on the sofa, prompting his mom Zhou Hui to quickly serve a fresh plate of fruit.
"Your dad went to the restaurant to arrange tomorrow's table, food, and drinks. And your sister, what else could she be doing? She's taking her driving test today."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback, "Is she taking the test that quickly?"
"If she doesn't take it soon, there won't be any room left in the fridge."
Su Qing: ...
Lately, every ti Su He practiced driving, she brought back sothing—a sheep from the driving school, geese by the roadside, ducks—anything edible couldn't escape her uncanny driving skills.
So now, as soon as she gets in the car, the instructor starts trembling, but thanks to their guidance, fortunately, she hasn't hit anyone.
But during the test, the instructor can't be in the car, so recently her instructor has been extrely anxious.
At this mont, the living room door swung open, followed by a scream:
"Ahhh! Mom, I passed, ahh!!"
With that, a figure in a JK skirt, carrying a small and exquisite handbag, dashed in.
Yes, dashed—a figure with poor eyesight might mistake it for a big rat.
"Really? That's great. If you hadn't passed, we would've had to buy a freezer," Zhou Hui laughed.
Su He felt a bit embarrassed, then bounced in front of him, grabbing his shoulders and shaking them vigorously, "Brother~~ I passed, all thanks to sister-in-law's crash course! Am I amazing or what?"
Don't be fooled by her slender figure; she has quite a grip.
Soon he realized sothing was wrong, pushed the wild girl aside, and scrutinized her.
Su He wasn't shy, spinning in place and smiling, "How do I look, brother? Pretty, right? Sister-in-law bought it for !"
Seeing Zhou Hui, she added, "With my brother's paycheck!"
Su Qing: ...
"Wait a minute, the outfit is fine, but this bag..."
Su He's appearance had indeed changed a lot recently—her entire outfit was new and branded, and she even got a new hairstyle.
The overall look was youthful and vibrant, with an extra touch of sweetness, clearly not just from any ordinary hairdresser.
Most importantly, the exquisite handbag she was carrying wasn't a cheap item by any ans.
Upon hearing, Su He quickly hid the bag behind her back, "Sis... sister-in-law bought it for , with your paycheck."
By the end, her voice grew smaller and smaller.
Su Qing snatched it away, "Wow, you really dared to accept this? It's not cheap, is it?"
He didn't recognize won's bags, and there weren't any logos on it, but if it was from Shen Yi, it probably wasn't anything cheap. It could easily be a few thousand, if not tens of thousands, or even more expensive.
If Su He were older, he couldn't imagine what Shen Yi might gift; after all, this is soone who could use a 140,000-yuan skincare set. Heaven knows what she might give.
"I don't know. I didn't see it when her sister-in-law checked out; she bought it and said..."
Before Su He could finish, Su Qing waved her off, "You, you... What should I say about you? Your brother doesn't make much in a month, buying you clothes isn't a problem, but this bag? Let's forget about it."
Hearing this, Mom Zhou Hui leaned over, "Son, you an..."
"It should be my boss who bought it with her own money for her."
"Oh, no, if it's too expensive, that wouldn't be good. I thought you used your paycheck for it!" Zhou Hui quickly replied, start nagging Su He for wanting everything.
Su He felt wronged, too. She hadn't expected this and thought it was just an advance on her brother's paycheck—which wouldn't cost much. But now it seed that wasn't the case.
In fact, when Shen Yi said she was buying clothes for Su He with his pay, Su Qing had already guessed that Shen Yi was going to give Su He a gift. If it was a few hundred yuan, he'd just let it slide and find an opportunity to pay it back later. But he hadn't expected clothes and a bag.
Won's bags are quite mysterious because you can never fathom how much they can be worth.
"Son, why don't you ask your boss how much the bag is, and we can repay her?" Zhou Hui suggested.
Su Qing shook his head, "It's fine. We're having a company gathering tonight, so I'll ask later. Don't worry, it's okay!"
Saying that, he gave Su He a glare for being so out of line.
Su Qing had lunch at ho, and in the afternoon, as one of the only two n in the family, he naturally went out with his dad for errands.
Booking venues, discussing nus, moving wine—everyone knows how exorbitant restaurant liquor prices can be.
By the ti they wrapped up, father and son had pretty much sorted everything out. During the process, Dad also updated Su Qing on his recent stock market success.
Indeed, as he said, the stock saw a slight rise. Dad trusted Su Qing's big boss this once and invested fifty thousand to test the waters, earning so profit.
Though it couldn't compare to Su Qing's, it was still considerable. While making money on his own, Dad couldn't hide his envy.
Because he knew Su Qing also earned quite a bit, and it was good money. After all, Dad only invested fifty thousand, while Su Qing placed five hundred thousand, a tenfold difference.
For a veteran stock investor who'd been at it for half his life, Dad felt a bit sour.
At seven in the evening, Su Qing freed himself from chores and headed to the restaurant where the company gathering was held last ti.
Just as he arrived at the entrance, he spotted a familiar face; Shen Yi was engaged in conversation with a man in his thirties.
Just as he was about to approach, soone suddenly patted him on the back.
"Qingzi? It's really you, what are you doing here?"
Turning around, Su Qing indeed saw Wang Xing, and not only that, but he'd even styled his hair specially.
"Why is it you? What's going on? Are you here for a blind date?"
"We just finished a big project at my company, and the boss is treating us. What about you... Wait a minute, isn't that Boss Shen? You guys... at the wrong place, aren't you supposed to be at a hotel?"
Su Qing: ...
"Then again, it wouldn't make sense, since you two live next door. Why go to a hotel?"
Their conversation wasn't quiet, drawing Shen Yi and the others' attention ahead.
The two: ...
